Abstract Of The Disclosure After a plurality of optical fibers are fused to make a fiber optic coupler, the ends thereof are glued to a substrate to provide the outwardly extending fibers with adequate pull strength. The glue can flow from the point of application toward the fused region where it can adversely affect the the device. To prevent the glue from flowing too far toward the fused region and yet permit sufficient flow to strengthen the fibers, a beam of UV light is directed onto the fibers at that predetermined point where glue flow should stop. When the glue is cured by the beam, it stops flowing. Thereafter, the remainder of the glue is cured.
